Quiche Lorraine. My wife said it was delicious.
Jacob H.

I went here for brunch and enjoyed the friendly servers, casual atmosphere and good food. My party was seated prompted and enjoyed the assortment of cocktails and menu options. When I go to French restaurants, I enjoy the quality of fresh bread and soft butter, and this one lived up to the test. So good! I ordered the pork schnitzel sandwich, and I liked the warm and buttery pretzel bun and flavor. It was good food at a good price. My party enjoyed their dishes as well--the presentation looked great, and everyone was pleased. I would come back here for brunch whenever I'm in Arlington.

Brunch menu

This place is AWESOME! These reviews are BS. The food and service at the bar is phenomenal. See Michaela or Jose for the best service available. The food is spectacular and I cannot stress how great it really is. Brunch is our favorite witb the short rib Benedict & steak & eggs - OMG!! Pricing & service is better than anywhere in the area. Sit at the bar, enjoy the service & food. Highly recommend.

I met one of my friends here for brunch over the weekend. We sat outside since I had my pup. We started off with cocktails while we reviewed the menu. An Old Fashioned for my friend and a French 75 for me. My drink was bubbly and refreshing. My friend had never tried Escargots before and even our server recommended it. So we ordered Escargots for an appetizer which were absolutely delicious. Lots of melted cheese and flavor in the dish. My friend enjoyed it more than he thought he would. There was also complimentary bread provided which we used to dip in the sauce. As my main dish, I got the Short Rib Benedict and my friend enjoyed his Lyon Hall Burger. My Benedict had plenty of short rib and it was so tender - so good! Great food and drinks all around. Service was good as well. Cool French restaurant with a large corner space with lots of outdoor and indoor dining.

While we don't go as often as we used to, we did go about a month ago and things are just the same. Good service, good food, and good vibes. It's kind of the neighborhood after work go to for us - a martini and some salad or seafood. Everything is fresh and seasoned well. Not overly salty or too bland. It'll stay in rotation for us when we don't feel like a quick simple sit down meal.

Grilled Octopus
Andrew H.

Pretty solid place with good French options. I wish the French dip had more beef though, it wasn't much meat in there and a lot of bread. The bread however was soft and good quality. The grilled octopus was also pretty good.

I was so excited to go to this restaurant for my best-friend's birthday brunch. We had reservations for 9 and they were able to accommodate us on the top floor. The ambiance was beautiful and the food was AMAZING! I would go back in a heart beat. EVERYTHING was delicious. Beignets Shrimp Cocktail Short Rib Benedict Quiche French Dip

Brisket dumplings
Rachel B.

I went to Lyon Hall for happy hour on a Thursday. We were able to get a high top table without having a reservation. They have good happy hour deals for drinks and snacks. I enjoyed the SJF cocktail, which was kind of like a Moscow mule. We had a soft pretzel with cheese and mustard but it wasn't very good. I would skip the pretzel next time. Plus, I didn't realize that they bring complimentary bread to the table. The bread and butter was really good. We also had the brisket dumplings, and those were tasty. The restaurant has good vibes. It's a cute spot for happy hour, and I would definitely come back.

Espresso Martini
Khoa L.

Came here for my birthday and was so happy I did. If you have a chance to go here, sit outside, it's very beautiful and cozy. My friend and I tried the restaurant week menu and we fell in love with our food. The tuna tartare was delicious and the panna cotta was the perfect cherry on the top. I also got the espresso martini which was decadent. The wait staff was so kind and inviting. Would def come here again!

Hidden gem in Arlington. Near shops and walkable area we stumbled upon. Service was great and all staff friendly and attentive. We shared a beef tartare with nice presentation then I tried the croquette monsieur. The sandwich came with a choice of side and the potato salad was one of the best. On the weekends order the mimosa kit, worth the value to have a few.

Came here last minute with my roommates, as the other restaurant we planned to dine at fell through. I have heard about Lyon Hall, but did not expect it to be as nice and fancy. I for some reason thought it was more of a bar scene, but was nicely surprised. It was restaurant week when we came, so they were offering a $55 3-course meal special. We opted out and just decided to order off the normal menu. I was surprised with how quickly they sat us. The hostess was very nice, however, our server we felt was not as attentive to our table. We went through a majority of our dinner with empty waters. I had a large lunch so I decided not to get an entree, but instead get their tuna tartare and the caesar salad. I was really looking forward to the salad, but unfortunately i did not enjoy it as much as I hope. It was not made with romaine lettuce as I am used to, and it was drenched in dressing to the point where it was a little hard to eat. However, the tuna tartare I could not recommend enough. It was a nice mix of flavors, and was filling.

Bread!
Jasmine D.

I came for my birthday brunch and was not disappointed! First of all I love brunching in Arlington, Clarendon, Shirlington, etc, so of course that's the area I chose. The outside of the establishment is not visually appealing, but inside it was very nice! We were seated all the way upstairs at the back of the restaurant, which wasn't a bad thing bc my friends and I can get a lil loud at times! We alllll started with the biggest, one friend got the shrimp cocktail. That shrimp cocktail was SO GOOD! You only got four prawns on ice, but there was something about them that took them over the top. The beginners were perfectly fried! The creme anglaise that accompanied them was chefs kiss perfect! For my meal I got the short rib Benedict. I get short ribs wherever I can find them, they're my favorite! I did ask for my eggs to be fried rather than poached bc I hate runny egg whites, and it was perfection! Everyone enjoyed their food, and we had a great time! Our server was nice and efficient, we had no complaints there! I would def go back again!

Roasted Chicken Roulade
Emma M.

Got the roasted chicken roulade and it was delicious. I always love the food at Lyon Hall The ambience is great for a date night or a girls night or a nice night out with family or friends. Highly recommend! Service is wonderful as well.

Red Velvet Cake
Serena X.

Wish I tried this place sooner - best table bread and butter I have EVER TRIED! no exaggeration. Came here on the last day of restaurant week per recommendation from my sister, and tried a number of dishes. Aside from the delicious tableside bread, we tried the grilled octopus and escargot for appetizers. Both were great, very heavy handed with the flavors though. I love the pistachios as part of the escargot. And hefty portion of tender octopus as well - very worth it! The mains were not as impressive, as we ordered the pork schnitzel and filet medallions. Both were decent, but the bed of veggies the schnitzel sat on felt like frozen bagged veggies. And the filets were over salted. We also ordered a side of fried artichoke hearts, which came with a delicious garlic aioli. For dessert, we got the red velvet cake, but it was nothing special. Overall, very impressed by the appetizers, and the ambiance inside is nice as well. Come here for the bread!!

The escargot, the soup the shnitzel all delicious. This place is 2 and a half hour away from where we live but it is worth it. Would love to come back.

This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences…read more I ordered the rice and shrimp dish, and for $36, I expected much better quality. The rice was severely undercooked, and although the menu advertised tiger shrimp, the shrimp served were much smaller than the tiger shrimp I've had at other restaurants. The portion and quality simply didn't justify the price. The service was even more disappointing. We were a party of 17, and it felt like our table was an inconvenience. I personally asked for water three separate times and still never received it. No one at the table had their glasses refilled. There was little to no initiative to check on our table, refill drinks, or make sure we had what we needed. Instead, it felt like our server was rushing us through the meal. I understand that serving a large party can be challenging, but if one server wasn't comfortable handling a group of this size, they should have asked for assistance from other staff. Large parties deserve attentive service just like any other table. Overall, the combination of overpriced, underwhelming food and poor service made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

I had a truly great time here. Despite being a huge space, it was jam-packed with friendly people…read more They had a band playing, but the volume wasn't so loud that it precluded conversation (I wish more places would make sure background bands add to the vibe instead of take it over). There were fun decorations and random arcade games. On tap was a large assortment of Bavarian beers which you can order in liter sizes. I wish I'd gone with the beer boot (2 Liters), but decided to settle for a heavy stein's worth of beer (which was still bigger than my hand, see the pic!). A few friends had some cocktails, which were also super-sized. Though the bartenders were busy, they were friendly and recommended some great brews. I didn't eat anything here, but the menu was pork-heavy, with a lot of traditional German-style foods like sausages and schnitzel (there was also rotisserie chicken). I met some great people, had awesome conversations, and enjoyed outrageous quantities of beer for a good price.. I look forward to returning

In an era of overpriced, trendy, and noisy eateries, where the staff seem to be indifferent and the vibe feels contrived, experiencing Old Europe feels special! Truth be told, I'm a fan of traditional German cuisine (and German beer), so I was excited to try out this historic restaurant. Not only were my expectations met, but they were exceeded! The portions were hearty and the flavors were authentic! I went away happy and satisfied, and looking forward to my return! This restaurant is truly a gem!

A German restaurant near Georgetown/Navy Observatory. I went there with my friend for a weekend…read morelunch recently. The restaurant had many special, European style decors inside. For food, we tried the following: 1. Wiener Schnitzel: you can choose veal or pork and 1 or 2 pc. My friend did 1pc of veal schnitzel. Served with roasted potatoes and a pickles+lentil salad. The seasoning of the schnitzel mostly came from the coating. The salad had pickled cabbage, cucumbers, greens, tomatoes and lentils; a bit salty but overall refreshing. 2. Porchierte Lachsschnitte: Salmon entree. Very disappointing. The salmon was flour-coated and pan-seared, but as they put steamed shaved carrots & green onions on it, the outside layer of the fish was very soggy. Even worse, the salmon was not fresh at all -- the meat was stone-hard -- harder than a fully-cooked steak. The parsley potatoes turned out to be my fav for this dish. 3. Apple Cabbage: Red cabbage braised in apple cider maybe? The cabbage was soft and slightly sour-sweet. 4. Complimentary bread: A small bread basket with some French bread, seeded toast, whole wheat toast, and white toast. Not fresh, dry, cold. Overall tasted cheap and bad. Service was also disappointing. We waited for over 50min to get our food. When we were waiting, our server never showed up. Luckily she took the salmon entree off my bill after I complained about it. Not a good restaurant. Not recommended even if you like German food.

I had hopes it was going to be delicious. I was greeted and seated quickly after i arrived around 11:30 am in. The dining hall was nicely decorated for Oktoberfest! My drink in order was taken but took about 10 minutes to arrive. I took a little more time ordering and I was seeing what other diners had on the tables near me. I started with a house salad and a pretzel. I will say the dressing on the salad was so good - creamy and a bit sweet. The salad size was generous - mixed lettuce, walnuts, onions, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and I think cranberries. Really good. My pretzel was absolutely amazing! Perfectly salted and warm and chewy. I'm not a fan of beer cheese so I stuck with the mustard! For my main I had the Grilled Beer Brats. My sides were sauerkraut, German potato salat and red cabbage. The brats were delicious perfectly seasoned and served hot! The potato salad was good also. But the sauerkraut was too sweet and the seasoning not quite to my taste. I prefer a nice tangy vinegary sauerkraut with less caraway seeds. Sour tangy kraut gets the mouth watering and leads to more beer drinking! The red cabbage a touch too sweet and I removed all the apples from my dish. The kraut here again vous be a bit more sour and used more vinegar. I make my own red cabbage and it would knock the socks off anyone eating it! Since I was full I passed on desserts so I can't tell you what they had. I really wished they could offer say: bratwurst on a roll with one side for lighter appetites and also a Leberkäse on a roll. Those two things are my favorite Lieblings Essen! I'd say try Alpine Kitchen but if you're German like me, maybe not have high expectations but for the typical American it's perfectly fine.
